Jackie,, I whole heartedly agree with you. I too had all the CAT scans and MRI's done first to rule out any other problems that might be causing my symptoms.
Unfortunately sometimes I think we as the patients know more about all this cluster business than many of the doctors out there. In my opinion ALL patients
complaining of headache pain such as ours should be immediately given these tests, but not all doctors feel it necessary since of course "it's just a headach".
I am truly sorry to hear about your brother but thank you for your post. Hopefully it will make many of the readers here insist upon these very important
diagnostic tests.
